The Special Meeting of the Central Committee is ONLINE
March 8, 2023
Hello Precinct Leaders,
We will hold a Special Meeting of the Central Committee for May 2023 Endorsements on Zoom on the evening of Wednesday, March 8, 2023! We have worked hard to make the endorsement meeting easier to understand for our members, so you can go online to see the agenda and the endorsement committee’s recommendations in advance of the meeting.
How the meeting works:
- All candidates who applied for endorsement will be invited to speak for two minutes to introduce their campaign.
- Then, based on their interviews with the candidates, the endorsements committee will make their recommendation to either endorse a candidate, endorse multiple candidates, or make no endorsement.
- The committee will briefly summarize the reason for their recommendation.
- There will then be debate on the recommendation of the endorsement committee,
- followed by a vote of the membership in attendance to approve or disapprove the recommendation.
Because this is a special-purpose meeting, no business or votes other than endorsements may be considered at this meeting.
